why? I believe it could be done (from my knowledge of how MBR operates), but GRUB is pretty nifty and desinged for this function. There ARE reasons people go MBR --> GRUB yah know!
What do you mean by using MBR instead of GRUB? The Master Boot Record (MBR) is just a generic term for the part of the drive that contains the partition table, among other things. LILO and GRUB are boot loaders that can be installed on the MBR.
The same instructions should apply to a WinXP+Linux setup, apart from the fact that the default install directory for XP is WINDOWS rather than WINNT, so don't change that portion of the boot.ini file.
heh - alternatively "Because we/I can"? Yeah, and I was of course assuming the NT boot loader was what he referred to - your post cleared that up and gave him what he needed, so a little rep your way. I was trying to sound the note of caution - plus having a curious nature I guess (not always helpful on forums of course!)
Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
